The okonomiyaki was very tasty and I found the drink system comfortable and practical. I loved the decoration of the place and the sense of humor that their posters conveyed. As a person with celiac disease I felt super calm and cared for, they even understand about cross contamination! One of the best gastronomic experiences I had in Japan 🧡
A hidden gem away from the bustling Dotonbori, this cozy soba shop offers a tranquil vibe, homemade noodles, and an extensive menu for all dietary preferences.
Enjoy a fun atmosphere with ridiculously low drink prices and unique takoyaki made from okara, perfect for a casual hangout!

Great vegetarian and gluten-free restaurant! The takoyaki are excellent. The menu is very generous and everything was very good! I'm glad I was able to eat a big dose of vegetables in Japan.
The boss is very nice and the music was great! Don’t hesitate to slip some nice little words into the floor microphones, they are directly connected to the kitchen 😁
ごちそうさまでした! ありがとうございます!
A cozy izakaya vibe awaits in a hidden spot, offering self-serve drinks and fluffy, satisfying dishes that keep customers coming back!

Excellent gluten free vegan curry (I was too busy enjoying it to take photos) and drink! I got the takeaway curry in a cup - It was perfect! All gluten free, well labeled menu with pictures and friendly service. Definitely recommend this one 🙂

Amazing! So happy to have a delicious meal that is authentic Japanese curry and gluten free. He offers chicken , beef , vegan and vegetarian options. Small menu about 6 seats the owner was born in this exact building. It’s as authentic as it gets. Worth the trip off the beaten path.

Idk why it’s michelin guide, it’s pretty straightforward okonomiyaki, the yam one is nice for someone who is gluten free. I wouldn’t wait more than 10 minutes. The service seems like they don’t want to be there. We sat on the second floor, the chefs don’t cook in front of you like on the first floor, someone brings it to your table and cooks it for you unenthusiastically. The room is bare, nothing on the tables, you have to order everything in line and can’t add more once sitting down. I don’t recommend it, Chibo Okonomiyaki is much better and you have more selection of drinks, and the condiments are on your table. For example I like adding more bonito flakes but there was no option here.

I've always wanted to try this rare restaurant that serves gluten-free pasta and pizza!
Just to be sure, I made a reservation on Hot Pepper Gourmet and went there!
I wanted to have both, so I went for the Koga Lunch☀🍴
This is also great value for money!
2,200 yen including tax👛
First, choose soup or salad. Then choose pasta or omelet rice for the main course.
You can choose from all the types of pasta on the menu!
The pizza is just the right half size, and you can choose one from three types!
I'm happy that it's my favorite crispy type pizza👍
I couldn't decide, so I chose a creamy pasta.
Of course, I chose gluten-free noodles!
(They also have regular wheat pasta)
Dessert & drink (coffee or tea) are also included. !
You can also get rice flour roll cakes at Betsubara☺️
I enjoyed the authentic pasta😋
It was my first time here and the owner was quiet, so I was a little nervous, but I think he's a real craftsman (lol)
There are two parking spaces in front of the store and another one, so if the one in front of the store is full, please ask there☺️
There are so many types that I'm interested in trying different flavors of pasta, so next time I'd like to take my mother, who is also trying a gluten-free diet🥰
When I get there, I'll buy some rice flour bread to take home!
It was delicious!
Thank you for the meal😋

Kura sushi chain is great! They have an allergen menu online that you can use to guide you and order directly from the screen. It can be a but difficult to navigate getting a table but its yummy and really affordable. There are also a lot of locations so it became a good backup option to have while travelling.
Enjoy a casual vibe with unique okonomiyaki options that keep food lovers coming back for more in Osaka.

Good food. They have ONE gluten free option. It's not on the English menu. It's the pork okonomiyaki from the Japanese menu. Not celiac friendly since they cook everything on the same grill.

You’ll never have beef like this! What an experience - if you’ve never had A5 beef before it’s a great way to start. You pay for the experience but it’s absolutely worth it. Our private chef was Ishikawa and he was so friendly and cooked our beef perfectly. They catered very easily and well for my coeliac husband. Worth every penny!
A must-visit gem in Osaka with a dreamy atmosphere, unforgettable memories, and tempting desserts always keeps people coming back for more.

I've been there several times during lunch time.
I love this restaurant because it's reasonably priced, delicious, and has a great atmosphere!
Best of all, they have gluten-free noodles, which is helpful (I have a mild wheat allergy).
This is one of those stores that would be in trouble if it disappeared.
We also recommend the dessert cake!
Great for lunch with friends or by yourself.
Savor delicious options in a cozy spot, complete with fun toys for kids that make meals feel special.

Did you know that there is a set that can be eaten gluten-free?
We have hamburgers and hot dogs
It's for kids and comes with toys.
When I refused the toy, he gave me a ballpoint pen.
happy
The taste is also delicious
It's a little small, but since it's rice bread, it's quite filling.
A vibrant spot where you can customize colorful bowls with fresh ingredients for a delightful meal after exploring the nearby castle.

After visiting Osaka’s Castle, I went there. I ate a poke bowl and an açai bowl.
The staff was really nice and help me to make my own gluten free bowl. They checked the ingredients.
I get a bowl made with salad, shrimp and chicken, edamame, tomatoes, avocado and Mexican dressing.
I am really happy about this experience.
Curry restaurant located off the side street. Chain restaurant serves a variety of curry options with dietary information when asked. 1 gluten-free option.
I enjoyed breakfast at around 6:50am on a weekday at Dining & Bar LAVAROCK on the 3rd floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel, located right next to JR Shin-Osaka Station.
This restaurant is near Shin-Osaka Station, and even non-guests can enjoy the breakfast buffet (all-you-can-eat breakfast) from 6am to 10am for 3,900 yen including tax, which is great.
Reservations are not accepted, so you can use it freely without making a reservation.
The restaurant is very bright, spacious, and clean, with about 100 seats. You can choose your seat at any time, and I chose a seat by the window at the back of the restaurant.
There are newspapers such as the Nikkei newspaper near the entrance, so you can read them freely.
The restaurant was playing quiet, calming Western music in the background.
As for food, salads, bread, fruit, Japanese food, and drinks, you can eat and drink as much as you like. The following were ordered at the table, and were also all-you-can-eat.
<Egg dishes>
・Osaka rolled omelette
・Omelette or scrambled eggs (choose from ham, bacon, chicken, mushrooms, herbs, spinach, tomato, jalapeno, onion, emmental, red cheddar, or feta cheese)
・Fried egg (one-sided or two-sided, soft-boiled or hard-boiled)
・Eggs Benedict
・Poached eggs
<Sweets>

I was happy to be able to get a freshly made smoothie, and it was quite sweet♪

・Tomato juice
・Orange juice
Then I chose the following food, which was also high quality and delicious
・Green beans
・Sausage
・Bacon
・Fried king oyster mushrooms

You can choose your takoyaki, which is Osaka after all! Foreigners also seemed to enjoy adding dried bonito flakes and sauces to their food♪
- Yudofu
- Okara (fried tofu)
- Spinach salad
- Salmon
- Bamboo shoots
- Burdock, beef and konjac stir-fry
- Thick omelet
- Red miso soup (with wakame, rolled gluten and spring onions)
As expected, it has a slight sourness and the dashi goes really well♪
- Eggs Benedict
Creamy and delicious♪
- Omelette (ham, chicken, mushrooms, herbs, spinach, tomato, onion, feta cheese)
I later realized that fruit, salad, cheese, prosciutto, bread, etc. were near the entrance, so I ordered the following♪
Please note that the all-you-can-eat corner is divided into two areas.
・Grapefruit
・Melon
・Red globe
・Blueberry
・Cherry tomato
・Broccoli
・Danish (strawberry)
・Prosciutto
・Pastrami
・Smoked salmon
・Red cheddar cheese
・Cream cheese
・Feta cheese
・Camembert cheese
・Pancakes
Two cute little pancakes with white whipped cream
・Waffles
Fragrant and moist with plenty of maple syrup and white whipped cream
Payment can be made with PayPay or credit card, so it's easy to pay without cash♪
Dining & Bar LAVAROCK, located on the 3rd floor of the Courtyard by Marriott Shin-Osaka Station, just a short walk from JR Shin-Osaka Station, is highly recommended for its high-quality breakfast, which can be enjoyed in the early morning!
An unforgettable experience with attentive service that goes above and beyond to ensure a great visit.

The meals are delicious, the salty desserts are great, very refreshing and not burdensome, the gluten-free waffles are very good, and the take-away piece of gluten-free chiffon cake is also delicious, just like the taste of ordinary cakes!
